In the final hour, Dover and Cecil discussed which players the Broncos should pay to keep and let walk in free agency. Who will be able to fix their issues before the playoffs, the Nuggets or Avs? The fellas gave their thoughts on Georgia LB CJ Allen and if he could be an option for the Broncos in the first-round. Dover explained why he was happy with what Nikola Jokic told Malika Andrews recently. 

On the latest Mortcast on CSG and MHS Jeff talks about how David Adelman's personality plays a big part in the Nuggets issues in clutch time and at home and how the solution to "fix" that problem is Nikola Jokic taking the reigns and leading this team like he did in the playoffs last year.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Tuesday. Tuesday's edition of Cash That Ticket on RJ Bell's Dream Preview, hosted by Munaf Manji, centered on a busy NBA slate and a night that blended betting success, on court controversy, and evolving league storylines. Coming off a 2 0 night on best bets, Manji opened by noting momentum built from Nikola Jokic clearing a rebounds and assists prop and a college basketball win from Uncle Dave, setting the tone for another analysis heavy episode focused primarily on professional hoops. The biggest headline from Monday night came in Charlotte, where tensions between the Pistons and Hornets escalated into a chaotic midgame altercation that evoked memories of past NBA flashpoints. A hard foul and ensuing confrontation involving Jalen Duren, Miles Bridges, and Isaiah Stewart spilled across the floor before officials and teammates intervened. While the incident stopped short of anything more severe, suspensions were still pending, and the league was expected to review the situation closely. Detroit ultimately snapped Charlotte's nine game winning streak with a 110 104 victory, a result that also cashed the under Manji had leaned toward pregame. Beyond the fight, Manji highlighted several league wide trends impacting both teams and bettors. Utah's handling of a close game against Miami drew scrutiny after key starters sat for the entire fourth quarter despite being within reach, a clear signal of draft positioning priorities. The situation reinforced a growing angle for bettors, especially with live markets, when evaluating teams openly embracing late season losses. Elsewhere, Golden State edged Memphis by one point, Cleveland rallied late to beat Denver, and Oklahoma City handled the Lakers without Shai Gilgeous Alexander, prompting candid postgame comments from LeBron James about Los Angeles falling short of championship caliber. That admission fueled broader speculation about the Lakers' direction and the possibility that this season could mark the end of James' tenure in Los Angeles, with roster construction and long term planning increasingly shifting toward Luka Doncic. Looking ahead, Manji broke down a short Tuesday card, emphasizing defense, pace, and situational spots. He backed the Knicks at home against Indiana, citing elite recent defensive form and strong Madison Square Garden performance, leaned under in Clippers Rockets due to Houston's slow tempo and defensive identity, supported Phoenix laying points versus a depleted Dallas squad, and ultimately locked in San Antonio against the Lakers as his best bet. With depth, defensive consistency, and favorable scheduling on their side, the Spurs were positioned as the most reliable play of the night. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler recap Super Bowl LX and talk basketball and more. The Cash That Ticket Podcast on RJ Bell's Dream Preview returned the Monday after Super Bowl 60 with Munaf Manji and Dave Essler recapping Seattle's 29 to 13 win over New England and shifting focus to futures, NBA action, and college basketball. Seattle's defense dominated throughout the postseason and again in the Super Bowl, pressuring rookie quarterback Drake May, forcing turnovers, and controlling the game with a physical, run heavy approach. Kenneth Walker earned Super Bowl MVP honors with 135 rushing yards on 27 carries, becoming the first running back to win the award since Terrell Davis. Cooper Kupp led Seattle receivers with 61 yards, while A.J. Barner added 54 yards and a touchdown. New England struggled to protect May, who finished with 295 passing yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, while the Seahawks recorded six sacks and won the turnover battle by three. Essler noted the outcome followed the same script as New England's playoff run, with elite defenses exposing the Patriots' young offensive line. Despite the loss, both hosts expressed optimism about New England's future, citing cap space, roster turnover, and the foundation of May, head coach Mike Vrabel, and a strong defense. Early Super Bowl odds for next season listed Seattle and the Rams as co favorites at plus 950, followed by Buffalo, Philadelphia, New England, and Baltimore. Essler highlighted Denver at 18 to one as a value play and mentioned Houston as intriguing but dependent on C.J. Stroud's development, while also floating the Giants at 70 to one as a long shot based on coaching and returning talent. Attention then turned to Monday's NBA slate, starting with Detroit at Charlotte, where both hosts discussed the Hornets' nine game winning streak driven by improved defense. Essler leaned toward LaMelo Ball over 18.5 points and suggested a live betting approach on the spread, while Manji favored the under based on recent defensive trends. In Cleveland at Denver, the focus was on a high total near 240 points, with both agreeing the over remained playable given Denver's season long scoring pace and defensive absences, along with Cleveland missing Evan Mobley. Manji also targeted Nikola Jokic rebounds and assists over 23.5, citing increased minutes and consistent production against the Cavaliers. Essler added a situational lean toward Cleveland with the All Star break approaching. For best bets, Essler selected Bradley as a home underdog against Belmont in college basketball, pointing to Belmont's road struggles and heavy public action failing to move the line. Manji closed with Jokic over rebounds and assists as his official play, emphasizing form, matchup history, and expected tempo. The episode concluded with reminders about bankroll discipline as football ends and basketball markets draw increased attention. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Well, it wasn't the outcome I was hoping for, but I did spend a full day with my wife & pets yesterday…enjoying lots of snacks, drinking a few beers, and yelling at the TV. Super Bowl 60 is in the books and congrats to the Seahawks on the victory. We recapped the game, the commercials, the musical performances, along with a bunch of other interesting stats and info. I actually took notes during the game to remind myself of the things I wanted to mention this morning. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight, and in the news…the latest on the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie's mother, the tragic deaths of Brad Arnold from "3 Doors Down" and Greg Brown of "CAKE". Elsewhere in sports, the Bucks have now won three in a row after beating Indiana on Friday, the Badgers lost to the Hoosiers on Saturday in overtime, an update on the US medal count at the Winter Olympics, and the terrible crash for Lindsey Vonn. Nikola Jokic is climbing the ranks of the NBA's greatest with another triple-double, a linebacker for the Falcons gets arrested for domestic abuse, the "hot mic" at the Olympics, and the Duke vs. UNC game. Remember the woman in Philly who had her car encased in ice after a water pipe burst? Well, she just got a new car thanks to Carvana. And check out this firefighter who rescued a bunch of puppies not too long ago and has now rescued two of them!

And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about Angry Orchard looking to trade some cider for your ex's belongings, some "lawn-gerie" from Natty Light just in time for V-Day, a truck that was doing donuts on a frozen lake falls through the ice, a woman who threw lasagna in her husband's face because he was being a "bunghole", a man who murdered his ex and then broke down at the police station after he realized he wouldn't be able to play GTA 6 if he ends up in jail, and a crazy video of someone getting a back tattoo inside a Wendy's restaurant.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A wild double overtime night at Madison Square Garden had everything. Late whistles. Missed shots. Big nerves. And a Knicks team that refused to fold. Evan and Tiki break down the double overtime win over the Denver Nuggets and why this one felt different from past seasons. The conversation starts with the controversial loose ball foul that nearly flipped the night and why the Knicks overcame a moment that usually ends in disaster. From there, the focus shifts to the trade deadline chatter and why a game like this makes you wonder if the Knicks even need Giannis Antetokounmpo to compete with the league's best. At the center of it all is Mitchell Robinson. His ability to guard Nikola Jokic in the paint and switch out onto Jamal Murray on the perimeter is dissected in detail, along with why his defensive impact might be the real difference between a good team and a Finals team. Jalen Brunson gets his due for late game poise, Karl-Anthony Towns' bloody toughness moment is discussed, and the roller coaster night from Mikal Bridges is put into full context. Plus, legendary calls from Walt Clyde Frazier add another layer to an already unforgettable night. A reminder to stay calm during an 82 game season, but also a clear message. This Knicks team can beat anyone when it defends like this.

Munaf Manji talks Tuesday setting and much more. With Super Bowl 60 five days away in Santa Clara and the NBA trade deadline approaching, Munaf Manji delivered a wide ranging, NBA focused edition of Cash That Ticket on RJ Bell's Dream Preview, touching on betting results, emerging league storylines, and key Tuesday night matchups. Manji opened by recapping a split night on best bets with Uncle Dave, highlighting a winning Alperen Sengun related angle through Amen Thompson's PRA prop, while his own Joel Embiid points play fell short in a Philadelphia blowout where the supporting cast took over. That game also set the stage for the most notable rumor of the day, a report linking the Clippers and Cavaliers in potential James Harden discussions centered on a Harden for Darius Garland framework. Manji framed the rumor through both performance and betting lenses, noting Cleveland's underwhelming position relative to preseason expectations, Garland's limited availability, and Harden's continued high level production despite his familiar trade cycle narrative. From there, the show pivoted back to the court with detailed breakdowns of Tuesday's NBA slate, starting with Denver visiting Detroit in a revenge spot with Nikola Jokic back in the lineup, a factor Manji emphasized heavily given Detroit's uneven performance as a home favorite. He also examined Orlando's trip to Oklahoma City, pointing to the Thunder's injuries, non conference struggles against the spread, and Orlando's ability to stay competitive despite absences. In Philadelphia's matchup with Golden State, Manji questioned the Warriors' ability to score without multiple key players and leaned on the Sixers' strong record on the second night of back to backs. Around the league, he touched on recent results, pace driven matchups like Miami versus Atlanta, and the broader rhythm of a season nearing its midpoint. On the NFL side, while a full Super Bowl breakdown was saved for later in the week, Manji discussed prop angles involving depth players and role receivers, focusing on how game plans could force secondary contributors into meaningful roles. He closed by reinforcing disciplined betting principles, promoting long term consistency over short term swings, and locking in Philadelphia plus the points as his best bet, underscoring depth, momentum, and situational trends as the deciding factors.
